IMAPS events draw international
participation and most events will be attended by non-US citizens.
Before submitting your abstract, paper and/or
presentation to an IMAPS event or publication,
you should be aware of ITAR restrictions on publishable material,
whether you work in the defense industry, in academia, for
a commercial organization, or for an association. Authors/speakers
submitting papers with ITAR restrictions are responsible for getting
the appropriate clearance before publication or presentation.

All authors submitting
material to IMAPS are expected to obtain
all needed clearances for their works to be freely
published in IMAPS publications or presented at IMAPS events. Clearances
must be obtained well in advance of the submission/presentation
deadlines. Further, it is the responsibility of an author who
make changes to their manuscripts/presentations
to have all changes cleared in advance of the deadline/publication.
This applies to all authors.

Furthermore, IMAPS
assumes that all authors involved in government contracts will
meet their contractual
obligations and that these obligations
will, by definition, satisfy the requirements for ITAR compliance.

Neither IMAPS, its
staff, members, volunteers or committee persons, are responsible
for obtaining clearances or permission for publication of restricted
papers or presentations. It is solely the responsibility of the
author, submitting authors and/or co-authors of a publication to
ensure ITAR compliance, to seek authorization for publication,
and/or to confirm contractual obligations that may restrict publication.
